Title: Baa Baa Smart Sheep
Author:  Mark Sommerset
Rating: 4/5
This book is a picture book with wee little speech bubbles to tell the story. It is based around two characters, the Sheep and Quirkey Turkey.  It could be set either on a farm or in a field, the illustrations are quite simple so it’s hard to tell. The characters show great expressions in their faces throughout the book. The story is based around the Sheep telling Quirkey Turkey that his poo is actually smart tablets. It’s awesome the way the sheep convinces him to  eat the tablets – and obviously there are some interesting consequences.
I would recommend this book to all children who love funny books, and some teachers too.
It’s a great read aloud book! Hilarious!
